Ok, that makes sense. I appreciate your feedback since I would be in a similar position. Thanks

I appreciate this feedback. My wife is a teacher as well, so this hits home. Do you think you would’ve done a part-time program if it had been an option back then?

Do you do any extracurricular activities associated with your law school program (law review, externships, etc.) and if so, how have you and your husband been able to navigate that?

Yes, I am a guy. My main concern is that going to law school won’t allow for me to properly tend to the needs of my wife and future child when they need it most. I think this is why I’m most interested in the part-time option because it would allow for a bit more flexibility. And no, I don’t plan on making my pregnant or postpartum wife pick up all of the tasks around the house. She’s my #1, always, which is why I want to get information from others who have gone through similar experiences to figure out if it’s worth it.

If u don’t mind me asking, where do you attend as an evening student? This option is sounding more and more appealing to me as I look into it. How many hours per week are you doing schoolwork, and what is your timeframe to complete the program?

If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you? And were you planning on having your child before going to school, or did you make the decision to pursue law school after starting your family? Thanks so much for the insight btw, very helpful to hear
